We have finally made it to Dubai, after a very long 16 hour flight, which begun by us being delayed an hour. since our flight to Nairobi was delayed a day the airline compensated us and paid for use to stay in a hotel. It was called the Copthorne hotel. It was beautiful. WE arrived to the hotel around 2:30, we are lunch at 3, and then we went on a 4 hour tour of Dubai! It was breathtaking. We saw so many beautiful and different things. I noticed two things while in Dubai, 1. no two buildings are exactly alike 2. literally 75% of the adult population smokes, constantly.While on our tour we saw the Burj Al Arab, the beach, Atlantis resort, Jumerah mosque, the most incredible water show (!!) and so many shops literally filled with gold jewelery. When we went to this shops place, called the Gold Souk, there was about a mile or two of street and it was filled up and down with ALL entire gold and diamond shops! It was incredible. I even saw some food places that we have in America like, Subway, Burger King, Fuddruckers, and Baskin Robbins. It was VERY humid and hot in Dubai. When we got off the plane it was 106! After the tour (about 9pm), we cameback had dinner, showered, and went to bed. The room I stayed in (by myself!) was big and beautiful. The light situation was weird, I had to stick my room key in a socket for them to turn on, that took me while to figure out!! I loved Dubai but I cannot wait to fly to Nairobi tomorrow!
